| 1807 |  | driver for rvu, which is built in the new subdirectory src/qtrvu. | 
| 1808 |  |  | 
| 1809 |  | ===================== | 
| 1810 | < | Version 4.2 | 
| 1810 | > | Version 4.2 (Release date 7/31/2014) | 
| 1811 |  |  | 
| 1812 |  | Axel Jacobs added -cp and -palettes options to falsecolor. | 
| 1813 |  |  | 
| 1912 |  | Made it so icalc and rcalc search RAYPATH directories for *.cal files | 
| 1913 |  | given on command line.  This simplifies script writing and makes these | 
| 1914 |  | utilities consistent with other tools in Radiance. | 
| 1915 | + |  | 
| 1916 | + | Added triangulation routine to handle convex polygons in obj2mesh. | 
| 1917 | + |  | 
| 1918 | + | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1919 | + | Made backface visibility apply to all material types, including | 
| 1920 | + | transparent and translucent materials (except dielectric and interface). | 
| 1921 | + | This makes the option useful in cases where adjacent trans surfaces | 
| 1922 | + | are placed next to each other by a modeler that only understands | 
| 1923 | + | volumetric objects. | 
| 1924 | + |  | 
| 1925 | + | Changed dctimestep so that output matrices (-n > 1) are preceded by a | 
| 1926 | + | header, and added support for float and double output formats with -o[fd]. | 
| 1927 | + |  | 
| 1928 | + | Introduced eplus_adduvf program to compute user view factors for EnergyPlus. | 
| 1929 | + |  | 
| 1930 | + | Changed image-plane sampling in rpict to use Hilbert curve, which gives | 
| 1931 | + | less of a brushed/striped appearance to output pixels with -u- (default). | 
| 1932 | + |  | 
| 1933 | + | Added ltview and ltpict Perl scripts contributed by Axel Jacobs, inspired | 
| 1934 | + | by Rob Guglielmetti. | 
| 1935 | + |  | 
| 1936 | + | Added header variables for NROWS, NCOLS and NCOMP to help standardize | 
| 1937 | + | matrix files.  This functionality has been incorporated into | 
| 1938 | + | rcollate, gendaymtx, and dctimestep. | 
| 1939 | + |  | 
| 1940 | + | Created rmtxop utility to operate on multi-component matrices.  This | 
| 1941 | + | facilitates some daylight matrix calculations, and provides a general | 
| 1942 | + | tool for manipulating matrix data. | 
| 1943 | + |  | 
| 1944 | + | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1945 | + | Introduced new Hessian-based error control in irradiance caching (ambient) | 
| 1946 | + | calculation.  Since the format of the stored ambient values is different, | 
| 1947 | + | the old files will be rejected with an error message and must be removed. | 
| 1948 | + | The programs may be compiled with the -DOLDAMB option if this is a problem. | 
| 1949 | + |  | 
| 1950 | + | Added -p option to rcontrib to set function file parameters on a per-modifier | 
| 1951 | + | basis to simplify bin evaluation. | 
| 1952 | + |  | 
| 1953 | + | Created rfluxmtx program to compute flux transfer matrices from a sender | 
| 1954 | + | surface to one or more receiver surfaces.  (Renamed the file klems_int.cal | 
| 1955 | + | to klems_full.cal in the process.) | 
| 1956 | + |  | 
| 1957 | + | Added "-c" option to getinfo to execute command on data segment. | 
| 1958 | + |  | 
| 1959 | + | ===================== | 
| 1960 | + | Version 4.3 | 
| 1961 | + |  | 
| 1962 | + | Changed rmtxop so it writes out same type as lesser of inputs unless | 
| 1963 | + | direction otherwise using -f? option. | 
| 1964 | + |  | 
| 1965 | + | Changed order of oconv arguments in rfluxmtx so user can specify input | 
| 1966 | + | octree using -i option at the end instead of (or in addition to) a | 
| 1967 | + | list of scene files. | 
| 1968 | + |  | 
| 1969 | + | Added support for argument expansion to rfluxmtx and bug fixes. | 
| 1970 | + |  | 
| 1971 | + | Fixed bug in indirect hemisphere sampling for some corner cases. | 
| 1972 | + |  | 
| 1973 | + | Added default specular lobe to BSDF interpolation. | 
| 1974 | + |  | 
| 1975 | + | Set minimum number of shadow checks before direct optimization (4). | 
| 1976 | + |  | 
| 1977 | + | (Above changes included in 4.2.1 patch release.) | 
| 1978 | + |  | 
| 1979 | + | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1980 | + | Made header input and output the default behavior for dctimestep and | 
| 1981 | + | genskyvec. | 
| 1982 | + |  | 
| 1983 | + | ****** COMPATIBILITY CHANGE ******** | 
| 1984 | + | Changed pabopto2bsdf default behavior to add 90-degree rotation | 
| 1985 | + | to bring pgII's definition of "up" in line with Klems axis | 
| 1986 | + | conventions.  Introduced a new header variable "upphi" to | 
| 1987 | + | control this added rotation.  Using "#upphi 90" in each | 
| 1988 | + | BSDF input file gets back the original behavior, where it | 
| 1989 | + | assumes that the up direction is 90-degrees from the X-axis. | 
| 1990 | + | The default value of 0 corresponds to PAB's definition of | 
| 1991 | + | the X-axis as being "up". | 
| 1992 | + |  | 
| 1993 | + | Fixed bug in rsensor related to having many rows (altitude) and | 
| 1994 | + | few columns (azimuth) in sensitivity file. | 
| 1995 | + |  | 
| 1996 | + | Fixed floating point round-off error in new Hessian calculation | 
| 1997 | + | for some sytems (Windows, primarily). | 
| 1998 | + |  | 
| 1999 | + | Fixed bug in tensor tree BSDF code that caused bus error on | 
| 2000 | + | some systems, and may have been source of other errors as well. | 
| 2001 | + |  | 
| 2002 | + | (Above changes included in 4.2.2 patch release.) | 
| 2003 | + |  | 
| 2004 | + | Improved ambient extrapolation to avoid zero values.  Actual | 
| 2005 | + | threshold set to 5% of recorded value. | 
| 2006 | + |  | 
| 2007 | + | Changed anisotropic Gaussian and Ashikhmin models so that | 
| 2008 | + | illegal orientation vectors are dealt with more gracefully. | 
| 2009 | + |  | 
| 2010 | + | Created wrapBSDF tool and incorporated into genBSDF along | 
| 2011 | + | with new rfluxmtx computation. |
